Hey there, folks! If you’re looking to learn a unique martial art with deep roots in Maharashtra’s history, then look no further than ‘Mardani Khel’! The Shri Shivajiraje Mardani Akhada organization in Pune’s Shivajinagar is offering coaching for this ancient art form that dates back to the time of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj himself.
With around 150 students participating in daily training sessions, ‘Mardani Khel’ has gained significant popularity and support due to its connection to Maharashtra’s rich cultural heritage. Men, women, IT professionals, homemakers, and even foreigners are taking part in this traditional martial arts training, led by Head Coach Vijay Ayawale Patil.
Patil, who learned this art form in Kolhapur, is a strong advocate for ‘Mardani Khel’ becoming a national sport and gaining international recognition. He believes that dedicating a few hours each day to learning this art can lead to improved focus, discipline, and overall personality development.
The fees for this unique training are Rs 1,000 per month, and sessions are held daily at Rokdoba Mandir Hall in Shivajinagar Gaonthan. The students of Shri Shivajiraje Mardani Akhada also showcase their skills during the first day of Ganesh Utsav, adding a cultural touch to their martial arts practice.
But wait, there’s more! Even foreigners are drawn to ‘Mardani Khel,’ with students from Germany attending workshops and performing during Ganesh Utsav. The art form, with its focus on weapon-based combat and exploiting human anatomy weaknesses, has a rich history in Maharashtra and plays a vital role in the Marathas’ warfare strategies.
So, if you’re looking to embrace a piece of Maharashtra’s heritage and improve your self-defence skills, why not give ‘Mardani Khel’ a try? It’s a unique opportunity to learn a traditional martial art that has stood the test of time.
